Positive controls validity:

valid

Other effects / acceptance of results:

Optical Density (OD) values obtained with blanks were higher than 0.1 (0.152). However, the spectrophotometer was fully validated and had passed all required tests. The OD values for blanks observed in this study are consistent with historical data using this spectrophotometer in the laboratory and meet our current internal acceptance criteria of blank OD values <0.194. Therefore this deviation is not considered significant.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

Category 2 (irritant) based on GHS criteria

Conclusions:

Decyltrimethoxysilane reduced the tissue viability to 3.03% and therefore meets the criteria for classification as irritant to the skin according to Regulation (EC) No.1272/2008.

Executive summary:

The in vitro skin irritation of Decyltrimethoxysilane was determined in accordance with the OECD Guideline for Testing of Chemicals 439 during a GLP-compliant study. This in vitro risk assessment assay predicts the Skin irritation potential of a chemical by measurement of its cytotoxic effect on the EpiDerm™ tissue model.

Prior to testing, the test substance was checked for interference with water and/or MTT. No interference was identified.

Skin irritation of the test substance and controls was evaluated in triplicate. After 60 ± 1 minutes exposure on the surface of the EpiDerm™ reconstructed human epidermis and a 42 ± 4h post-exposure incubation time, viability of the tissues was assessed and compared to the negative control.

The percentage of viability obtained with Decyltrimethoxysilane was 3.03%, therefore it has to be considered as irritant to the skin according to the criteria laid down in the OECD Guideline for Testing of Chemicals 439.

The test item met the criteria for classification as irritant to the skin according to Regulation (EC) No.1272/2008 on the Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures.
